The story itself is not terribly long but the combat is intense and should extend the playtime for most gamers. In keeping with the previous games, the sound track is outstanding and the voice acting is highly professional. While this eliminates the complexities of lip-synching, it is more than a little distracting. Ritual also chose not to animate any facial features during character dialog.

And you should be fully desensitized to the various quirks of the Nocturne engine such as shifting camera angles and clumsy controls.īlair Witch 3 opens in 1786 with Jonathan Prye, a minister in a crisis of faith.
If you have played the previous games, you will be immediately comfortable with Blair Witch 3—the interface is the same. Developed by Ritual Entertainment, the game uses the same Nocturne engine used by Terminal Reality and Human Head Studios for Volumes 1 and 2, respectively. Blair Witch: Volume III – The Elly Kedward Taleīlair Witch Volume 3: The Elly Kedward Tale is the final title in a trilogy of games based on legends from The Blair Witch Project.
